Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 3/12, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 88:
Numerator of the dividend: 3
Denominator of the dividend: 12
Whole number and divisor: 88
So, what is 3/12 Divided by 88? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 3/12 Divided by 88, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
3
12
÷
88
\frac{3}{12} ÷ 88
12 3 ÷ 88
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 12, by the whole number 88:
12 x 88 = 1056
Step 2:
The result of this multiplication will now become the denominator of the answer. The answer to the problem in fraction form can now be seen:
1056/3 = 352/1
A fraction that has 1 as its denominator is an improper fraction. So, we should simplify this to just the numerator. Since the numerator is a whole number, there is no reason to write the answer in decimal form.
So,
3 divided by 12/88 =
352
